Southern Bride & Groom is excited to share some of our favorite photos, including many not seen in print, from the floral designers featured in our 2016 magazine. Today, we’re featuring a classic summer Americana floral display from Flowers by Gary.

Traditional colors of red, white and blue combined with vintage details like classic coke bottles and handmade pinwheels, create a classic Americana theme for this inviting display from Flowers by Gary. It’s a theme that’s perfect for a summer celebration! A tall centerpiece with local flowers, including rich red roses, cute white Gerbera daisies and rustic blue thistle are complemented with a touch of ivory and lamb’s ear in the bride’s classic bouquet. The bride models a sheer-sleeved laced gown from Savvi in front of Bay 7 at American Tobacco Campus in Durham.

Flowers by Gary is a Durham shop owned by Gary Corsi-OConnor, an award-winning, North Carolina Certified Professional Florist through the North Carolina State Florist Association with over 25 years of experience.
